Hello my friends. It is the Super Saturday of the 6Nations Rugby tournament. It is a great day to be a Wales fan. It is cool but sunny here, (but our game is in Italy.) Even the daffodils here came early to celebrate the day. I am not watching the first game. Every one so far i watched we lost, or were winning until i watched. SO I am trying to psych myself for the other two games. Don't worry I won't miss the game someone here I live with watches the games many times and analyzes every point and man.
I apologize for calling for AR to retire this week. This am I heard him lift up his team, and say except for a few personal errors by individual men we might have won some of them, so ok fair enough. He also made some questionable picks for todays team, but we shall see.
Ok, whatever, hind-sight is 20/20. How about this? We use Sean Lineen to visit every club in Scotland and tell the kids they can be an international player too: if they listen to their coach, work on their personal fitness, and practice, practice practice. He is amazing and inspiring and he has worked with the best. Lets start over with the little ones who love the game, male and female, and develop some teams. Lets get some development officers that care, and are there to lead the youngsters. Lets get off the butt of the volunteer coaches, refs and pie servers who support the kids and don't just drop off their kids for a free Sunday morning babysitter.
Lets not say to Moms who volunteer, "we don't do it that way here." Instead lets see if the idea might work for us, but in baby steps. Lets get the kids all the safety gear they need, and rides to and from away games. Let's show them we believe in them, because we really do or we would not sit there cheering them on. Lets say to Dads who help out on work days," have you ever thought of trying to coach?" None of us is immortal, and the best leader delegates himself out of a job by recognizing peoples gifts and leading them to try new things.
I remember Tom Blair as the president of PRFC, and I learnt a lot of the rules of rugby listening to Douglas Wilson and him patiently explain to me that Jim was fat and not dead as he lay there clutching his chest on the field. I also learnt you are best friends with the guy who tried to make you a soprano in the ruck. It stays on the field.
PRFC is at a cross-roads.Lets all move on together to provide these future International players a forum to learn the fundamentals.
OK that is my housewife from NY opinion. Oh Please God Andy don't come home from Italy with silverware.
Blessings.
